The Touch of Light is Gina Glover’s art piece for Spirit of Place - a web based artwork to commemorate the former All Saints Hospital in Eastbourne. The Hospital, completed in 1869, was one of the largest and most modern convalescent hospitals of its era. The artists working on this project all have a particular interest in the spirit and sense of place, and the importance of memorial and collective memory.

In producing this series of photographs Glover travelled around All Saints Hospital using three different methods of capturing images.

This is so the viewer gets different experiences of the site. The three cameras were a Pinhole camera, a Polaroid camera and a 35mm digital camera. The empty building contains an energy which fluctuates between calmness and sorrow. The air you breathe is thick. Seeing only light allowed her to sense past lives, past stories.
